Is it so bad that there are religious connotations to giving? It's not like the money is conditional on converting or they get religion shoved down their throats.

In 2010 Christian Aid raised £95 million and in 2009 Muslim Aid raised £44 million. Would you rather people didn't donate money? It's not enough to suggest that money is donated to non-religious charities; often the money is donated as part of their faith.

Operation Christmas Child is a great organisation that are just trying to bring a little big of joy into the lives of children living in poverty. Is it so bad that, sometimes, there is a religious leaflet thrown in?

	It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go. No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year, so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
